Head out of the gutter, hive! We’re talking suspenders here.
I know, not as exciting. I wasn’t excited either… until I saw pictures like these:
Love the shade and suspender combo
Having our groomsmen sport suspenders wasn’t my idea. Mr. Latte must’ve been feeling left out and neglected while listening to me go on and on about the bridesmaids’ dresses, shoes, and hair accessories. After reading Miss Peep Toe and Miss Stiletto’s cute Chuck ideas, I was going to suggest doing something similar, when he busted out with this suspender idea. Brilliant!
We decided that he will wear dark pink suspenders and the groomsmen will wear them in light pink. Our ring boys will also get in on the fun, and we’re thinking of having them wear dark pink like Mr. Latte, or maybe even moss green or chocolate brown ones to round out our wedding colors.
We’re also going to get each person a matching pair of colored socks for fun pictures like these:
You won’t believe how difficult it’s been to find pink men’s suspenders! I’ve searched high and low in stores (department stores, men’s specialty stores, TJ Maxx, Marshall’s) and online with little success. 
Anyone else fancying up the groomsmen with suspenders and/or colored socks? Any suggestions on where to go suspender-shopping?

You should do an Alchemy request on Etsy! I have had great luck with it. The idea is really cute!
I’ve been looking all over for pink/peach/coral argyle socks for the guys and can’t find a thing…though my searching skills are pretty weak. Can’t wait to see if there are any good recommendations!
They have light pink suspenders. But I bet with prom coming if you search prom wear that might bring up some colored suspenders.
I found cute colored socks in LA actually at a sock store at Hollywood Walk? so try a tourist locale in your area.
I see Jennred782 found light pink… I just found dark pink.

Have you tried Hot Topic? They have a ton of suspenders now… Apparently they’re in style!
This ebay store has a few light pink ones also closeoutboutique
Here’s another sock site– sorry for all of the comments!
We are doing matching socks as well! Some of the cutest pictures I’ve seen lately are of the guys socks! I’m hoping to match my blue shoes to my Mr.’s socks as well! 
I love the suspenders is soooo cute!!! Its a great personal touch!
We are getting all the GM different ties and cufflinks to show off their personality
I really want to get fun socks! I’m going to look at some of these sites!
Hehe…I can’t picture Mr. Bruschetta’s friends wearing fun colored socks — but they’ll ALL be donning suspenders!
2 snaps up… i hope those adorable ring boys don’t steal the GMs thunder! They are SOO cute!
wow, thanks for all the links and suggestions! the hive never fails!
Too cute Mr. SR will be wearing suspenders, but not by his choice, by the recommendation of Men’s Wearhouse.
The suspender {+ sock photos…those are always cute} photos are great…
This is a UK site, but has pink suspenders (or braces as they are called across the pond!). They appear to do free international shipping if you spend over GBP28.
Also try Thomas Pink for amazing multicoloured socks: http://www.thomaspink.com
Here are some light pink suspenders (they have 5 in stock right now) :

Good luck finding the suspenders… this sounds like a really fun idea
My mister is so into suspenders idea. I didn’t really care whatever he chose. I just want him to be happy but now I love!!!!
we love/are implementing the fun colored socks idea. hopefully the guys are also down for pocket squares of cool colored ties.
Thats very cute, plus I think suspenders have major sexy potential. I think they’ll make the picture so fun
You should just get white suspenders and dye them to match whatever color you want.
American Apparel has lots of cute colored suspenders–check them out in store or online!
We also did matching blue argyle socks for the boys - loved it in pictures!
